Apparently I’m not the only one who was politely asked to leave Langley AFB’s golf course?

This guy makes some good points concerning Map time period.

3:32 “So we will have the large American infrastructure with the concrete strips…and the Starbucks, McDonalds and golf courses…that exist today.”
Fixed that for him.

No matter the time period, they’ve gotta keep the McDonalds. How else am I going to navigate? “Go to the McDonalds in Barrigada and …”
I keep looking at that fourth shot wondering where that is. Agat, Umatac?

You don’t navigate via McDonalds. But you might consider the Hong Kong Massage Visual. Hong Kong is a brothel located in a distinct pink building in Agana. Some of our pilots used it to time their base turn. But if you turned final precisely over the brothel you’d be wings-level at about 150 feet. That’s not exactly “stable approach” criteria. I know one pilot who will remain nameless who would use the approach to alert mamma-san that he might drop by for a dawn visit (often on return from a Bali or Cairns red-eye.)

Too much buy me drinky nostalgia in this thread. Raised plenty of Hell in that part of the world.

So there are females to be found? I’ve always been told that Guam stood for “give up and m*********”

Lots of womenz! Just not so many over-large Nebraska beef-fed types.

We heard that acronym possibility aboard the mighty USS GUAM (LPH-9), but we were pretty sure it stood for “Going Under Any Minute”…or, according to some of the sailors, “Go UA Man”…either worked.

The real question is how are all the snakes on Guam going to impact performance.

Do we need DCS: Anti-Venom?

Anti-Venom only stored at the nearest large base, most likely Okinawa, and needs three flag level officers to sign off on it for delivery. Confirmation must be made by on-scene professionals before anti-venom is delivered.
Wish I was joking.

I lived on Guam for 9 years. I believe I have explored just about every square kilometer that wasn’t forbidden me as a lowly civilian. In all that time I saw exactly two snakes: one was dead on the road; the other was in a cage and kept at the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife at Ritidian. The snake thing would make a fascinating documentary. Not about the snakes themselves. That was done and that was the problem. The REAL story is how a reputation can get started and forever dominate all dialog about a thing forever after. It totally fascinated me how Americans who couldn’t tell you which half of the planet Guam resided knew in great detail about the Brown Tree Snake. All thanks to a single PBS documentary from the 90’s.

A pacific theatre section in the WW2 part of the official forums just popped up! I really hope this will go beyond just the corsair!

Would be a very smart move on ED’s part to tackle this area of WWII – there’s hardly anything else in modern titles that have gone there.
